1982 sctosdale problem
 

hey there my 82 Chevy has a problem starting. the truck takes a lot of time to start. after the truck starts turning on the truck after that point is easy. any help?

I would check your choke set-up. What type of carb do you have on there? Does it have a manual or electric choke?

choke
 

i have a manual choke on it. i just dont know what to do.

Check to make sure before it has run for the day that the choke is mostly closed and as it warms up it should open up.

also check your bowl vent.......if the bowl is venting all the gas out as it sets you will have to crank on it to refill the bowl. this is a fairly common problem with the Q jet carbs the choke is the other issue.....both are well worth checking out...the easy way is to hit it with some carb cleaner first thing in the morning....if it fires and dies then the bowl is empty...if it fires and stays running then it could be a choke issue
